The story begins at exactly 1:00 PM on the phone clock. A nightmare begins: giant iron centipedes emerge from the ground and attack people and all living things. It's April 14th. The entire world is destroyed by these creatures. But for Yushai Chakva, this nightmare lasts an eternity. He will live this day over and over again. Each time, he always dies like everyone else before the next day arrives. For him, it's Groundhog Day. He's already lived through 72,009 of these days. And nothing surprises him. His empty gaze says a lot.
Hanchu goes to work and receives a message. The message contained a QR code. He opens it and sees this 12-minute video. Every minute shows Yushai's story. The first day, he was shocked and died almost immediately. Minute 2. Day 10, the same look of incomprehension and an attempt to fix at least something. Minute 3. Day 100, an attempt to be a hero and save humanity. Minute 4. On the 1000th day, he gathers a squad and becomes a warrior who barely wins. Five minutes. On the 10,000th day, his gaze is filled with despair. Yushai then does nothing of what he did in the previous days. He knew he had lost and didn't even try to interfere. Several different tens of days passed, but his gaze was filled with emptiness. No desire to help, no attempt to survive. The final shot. Yushai says in the complete darkness, "Why fight if everything will return to the beginning anyway?"
Hanchu watches this video and says it's nonsense. And you can survive here. That the story-driven "Armor" is nothing more. Hanchu gets into a taxi and heads to the office when suddenly, huge iron centipedes begin crawling out of the sea onto the bridge. This bridge was meant for trains. The train that was there was there, and these centipedes were like prey, like snakes. Hanchu glanced at the time; it was one o'clock in the afternoon. These centipedes were just like in the video. The same train. He thought, "I'll break this stereotype, Yushai!"
Yushai was standing right on that train. There is no surprise or fear in his eyes. Just emptiness. Everyone is running around in a panic. The centipedes blocked the entrance and exit of the train. And everyone is stuck on the bridge right now. A system appeared in front of people.
[Survive until tomorrow. Reward: 1000000 coins]
Everyone began to panic, but Yushai just said, "The same as last time," and leaned against the wall.
Hanchu looked around and spoke: "I won't panic! This situation is real and can truly be dealt with." Hanchu takes out his phone and begins to call someone. But, there is no reception. "It's the system that blocks the signals, right?"
[Yushai's level: Σ]
People were shocked. They didn't understand what it was. But Yushai sighed and said, "Nothing new."
Suddenly, a huge centipede appeared on the roof of the train, shaking its entire body, causing the train to shake violently.
The white-haired guy squints and looks around. "Centipedes? Blocking the escape route? And that... hologram? What the hell is going on here?"
"In short... we're doomed." Yushai replied.
People around them whispered in panic: "We're doomed!" "We're going to die here!" "No, we have to try to escape."
However, Yushai remained calm.
[Saigid: Level F]
Saigid looks at the system message, slightly intrigued but wary. "I'm at Level F? What does that mean...? And what's it for?"
Saigid decided that he would stick close to Yushai since he is very calm and above the level.
He silently approaches Yushai, observing him for a moment. "You seem unnaturally calm, given our current circumstances. Does all this chaos bother you at all?"
"You too," Yushai said calmly.
Saigid raises an eyebrow, amused by his indifference. "Oh, so you noticed. How observant you are. I'm just not the type to panic easily. I'd rather analyze the situation and find a way out than run around screaming like a chicken."
"I know you're sedated," the brunette said.
A hint of surprise flits across my face, quickly masked by a stoic expression heh, perceptive smartass. "What makes you so sure of that?"
Yushai pushes Saigid away and a golden glow sword appears in Yushai's hand. A huge centipede had just crawled up from Saigid' backside. Yushai cut it up
watches in surprise and disbelief as Yushai swiftly takes down the centipede that was creeping up behind me "...you're full of surprises, aren't you? I didn't even notice that thing..."
"The window," Yushai said coldly
nods silently, understanding his cue right, let's move. quickly heads towards the window, glancing around to make sure there are no more nasty surprises lurking nearby
Glowing bubbles began to fall from the giant centipede, accompanied by the clink of coins. All of these bubbles rushed toward Yushai and burst upon impact. A whiteboard appeared in front of him.
[one-hit Centipede Kill Reward: 55,500 experience points and 150,000 coins]
eyes widen slightly at the display of rewards "55,500 EXP... and 150,000 coins? who the hell are you...?"
"Let's go. We don't have time, the bridge is going to collapse," he says, as if he were talking about a toy.
He goes out of the window and observes the situation where huge metal centipedes come out from under the water. Yushai sits down on the edge of the bridge and stares down at the sea. He waits, clutching his sword.
Saigid follows after him, slightly confused by his nonchalance "are you just going to sit there calmly as hundreds of those things come pouring out from the water?" watches with a mix of curiosity and disbelief as Yushai remains eerily unfazed by the approaching threat
Yushai points at Saigid with his index finger so that he doesn't get in his way, but he doesn't take his eyes off the water. At which point he starts counting to himself. Another iron centipede jumps out of the harsh water.
And it is at this moment that Yushai directs his sword straight into the gaping mouth. The sword becomes huge. The size of the creature itself .the sword remains embedded in the ground in the place with the creature.
"Is it dead?" Yushai peers at the creature.
Black muck fills the sea in the place where the creature is stuck in the ground.
"Let's go. It's alive," Yushai said, dragging Saigid with him.
Saigid follows along hesitantly, still trying to make sense of Yushai's actions "you just... impaled the thing and now we're just going to leave it? but it's still alive... won't it just follow us?"
"that's why we're leaving," Yushai says, shortening his stride.
keeps pace with Yushai, glancing back at the creature as black muck spreads across the water "you've got a strange way of handling things... but I'll admit, it's effective. for now"
"In fact, we're leaving, so the bridge is going to fall apart."
As soon as he said that, the bridge began to break. One of the sides of the mast tilted in front and silus fell on Yushai's back. He had previously plunged his sword into the bridge so as not to fall. Yushai once again created another sword out of glowing threads from the air and stuck it into the ground too. He also created a crossbow in the air and began shooting all the creatures that were getting better at them. Not a single slip.
Saigid clings tightly to Yushai, heart racing as the bridge collapses beneath us "damn... this is insane! you're really not even fazed by any of this? just creating weapons out of thin air and shooting down monsters like it's nothing?!"
Someone could be heard shouting from the shore.: "I WILL BREAK THIS STEREOTYPE ABOUT GROUNDHOG DAY!!! YUSHAI!!!"
